Alderman Watson thought the first
thing the council should do was to settle
upon the size of mains. Individually he
favored eight inch mains, but had no
preference, as to either cast iron or Kale-
mein. He therefore moved that eight
inch pipe be adopted by the council as
the diameter of the pipe to be used for
the $500 feet Of mains. r., s.~
Anton Klaus, ST., thought eight inch
mains were the best, and if the city had
the necessary funds, such should be used,
especially as more pressure would be had
through the larger pipe.
Upon being put to a vote Alderman
| Watson's motion was carried.
| Alderman Hughes moved that eight
inch Kalemein pipe be adopted.
A lengthy discussion in which all the
aldermen and the mayor participated, oc-
Cured on the merits of the two kinds of
pipe. .:.a..
Alderman Watson moved to amend by
substituting 'cast iron" for "Kalemein.' -
| No second. A vote was then taken on
the original motion which was carried.

Hockers be accepted; that Mr.. Hockers
